Hi everyone

I was a kid in Strasbourg, Alsace, France... when the first men
landed on the moon.

We went to the nearby street, to see in the window of the local newspaper,
on a small B&W TV with a dozen other people that amazing event.

There were barely any TV at that time in France.

I still remember the scene and the immense joy looking at the LEM landing
and the first steps on the Moon.

A couple years later, a movie theater (now gone), after re-showing the great
Stanley Kubrick movie "2001, a space odyssey" had a show about the Apollo
program and showed some space rocks and other artifacts and photos.

I was on stretches... after a stupid strained ligament on a high jump, the
sport
"teacher" not letting me warm up sufficiently after me being late...

OK, I am talking about my personal life... and don't want to bother you more
with it... but those are unforgettable strong memories.

Later, I followed every televised Moon adventure: the tragic but great
ending Apollo 13,
the extensive Apollo 14 saga etc...

And now, I would love to have some memorabilia about Apollo, not a Moon rock
but something great.

If anyone can point to something great and decent in price... please let me
know.
Just like a nice badge of one of these great adventures...

Thanks
Michael B.
